What material is the skirt made from?

The skirt is crafted from cotton sateen, known for its smooth finish and subtle sheen.

Is the side pocket deep enough for essentials?

How does the midi length perform across seasons?

The midi length is versatile. It can be paired with heavier knits and boots in cooler weather, or lighter tops and sandals in warmer weather.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled

Iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side. For stubborn wrinkles, steam gently.

Metal clasp losing shine

Gently polish the metal clasp with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Skirt does not hang correctly

Ensure the skirt is hung properly on a padded hanger and has been air-dried flat. Check that the waistband is not distorted.

Inspect seams for any pulling. If minor, a qualified tailor can reinforce them. Avoid excessive stretching.
